About Speaker
Chris pursued his passion for filmmaking at Buffalo, NY's Canisius College where he earned a degree in Digital Media Arts, in addition to obtaining a Fine Arts certificate from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in Poland. He later moved into documentary filmmaking, producing the 2013 film entitled Our Man in Tehran, for which his team won multiple Canadian Screen Awards after its successful premiere at TIFF, and Dr. Baseball. Upon moving into post-production, first starting as an artist himself, Chris eventually served as a Stereo Production Manager at Legend3D on many projects including Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) and King Arthur Legend of the Sword (2017), and Alpha (2018). Chris went on to become Head of CG Production at the Toronto-based VFX studio SpinVFX where he balanced large teams of artists and visual effects budgets, quality control and collective schedules. Under his leadership, his team earned an Emmy nomination for their work on Netflix's The Umbrella Academy, and worked on a number of other fan-favourite, award-winning projects such as In the Tall Grass (2019), Stranger Things 3 (Netflix), Raised by Wolves (HBO), Midnight Mass (Netflix), and The Expanse (Amazon Studios). Today he is the Virtual Production Producer at Pixomondo, leading a variety of film, television, and commercial projects across multiple cities.
